Europe left behind as shale shock drives America’s industrial resurgence. “The wonders of US shale gas continue to amaze. …swathes of American industry have acquired a massive and lasting advantage in energy costs over global rivals, demolishing assumptions about US economic decline.” And the best part is that this is all due to private industry and capital. Barack Obama and the “You Didn’t Build That” crowd not only had nothing to do with it, but they were and are actively impeding it (while claiming credit for it.)

See, see! I knew there was a down side. These people will not be happy until what few of us are left live in caves (and no fires!) The twisted logic makes me want to laugh and to cry at the same time.

Un-freaking believable. They now have some heat and cheap resources and we still have viable jobs, but no.
I'm digging this article. It it's as good and true as it suggests, then we may be able to enter this new century economically sound and if we can rebuild our national (judeo-christian) soul, maybe we can get rid of all of these flatulence brained, egg-headed, nose picking, deomcrap hangers-on, or at least, reduce their numbers by exporting them to places that actually waqnt slave labor and don't care to have people who can think freely for themselves. (Any place outside our national borders might do.)
I'm surprised Obama hasn't outlawed this already.
"Dear Leader" and that zipper head Stephen Chu will still try and take credit for it. With a mental midget like Chu, I'm surprised this country isn't back to the days of steam engines.
Who's the troll?
Could be anyone, the zipper head comment may have offended someone.
What's a zipper head, first time I ever heard it.
Googled it. Seems to be a slur about Chinese people. I didn't look any deeper to see what the meaning is, lol.
Never mind ;)
It appears that the origin was the Korean war, "Zipperhead" refers to the tire tracks left on the head as GI's suppossedly ran over the Koreans with jeeps. Or so I've been told.
Meh. The UN soldiery called the Koreans a lot worse than that. The book M*A*S*H had all sorts of nasty names for Korean people in it -- and the world didn't end -- except in a revisionist history sort of way.
I dunno, I have used it in a derogatory sense without regard to people's ethnicity. If we let the Language Police dictate the words we can use, I can pretty much tell you the amount of free speech they'd allow for anyone not marching in GoodSpeak lockstep: '', and I repeat, ''.
As a matter of fact, I first coined it back in '83, when I was to invent a new, nonsense word for an English class. I defined it as an "jerk that does stupid stuff just to spite people." Maybe it was in existence before, but I thought it was new then, and I'm sticking by that story.
Might have offended someone, but not me.
If intellectual flatulence could be tapped for industrial use then - and only then - could Obama, et al, claim any contribution. In fact, they'd be responsible for a 200 year supply of mental methane.
THAT IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST NEWS I HAVE HEARD IN AT LEAST FIVE YEARS!!!! FURTHER IT WAS DONE NOT BY OBAMA AND HIS CRACKPOT STAFF WITH THEIR IDIOTIC IDEAS! I was so happy after reading that. God really plays a role in this Christian based country!
